ASPP DC/South Chapter

Andrea Hsu and Coburn Dukehart, both from National Public Radio, will go over all aspects of capturing audio: from which microphones to use and when, to techniques of collecting sound in the field. They will also present some of their projects for a little dash of inspiration! So put that camera away for the night and join us as we learn audio from the best in the business.

Andrea Hsu

Andrea Hsu has been on the staff of All Things Considered since 2002, starting out as a booker and now working as a producer and editor. Her day-to-day work includes everything from generating story ideas to writing and editing show segments to reporting from the field.

She was the lead producer of NPR’s coverage of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan, China, which was recognized with Peabody and duPont Awards. She’s also produced political stories in election years, covered the US military on the home front, and is currently working on developing a series on childbirth around the world.

In addition to work for the radio, Hsu has also produced multimedia work for npr.org , including photo galleries and audio slideshows.

Before NPR, she worked for the BBC in Beijing and London, and for National Geographic Television in Washington, D.C.

Coburn Dukehart

Coburn Dukehart joined NPR.org  in June 2007 as the first photo and multimedia editor. Since then she has helped to grow the department into a six person staff, trained multiple web producers and reporters in visual literacy, started a daily photo blog on npr.org , and has been part of multiple award-winning projects. Her role at NPR entails overseeing the visual and multimedia strategy for the website, producing original multimedia content, and encouraging higher standards of visual literacy in an organization best known for it’s audio storytelling.

Prior to joining NPR, she worked as an online photo editor and multimedia producer at usatoday.com . She has also worked as a photo editor at washingtonpost.com , and interned in the White House photo office. She has a master’s degree in photojournalism from the University of Missouri, and is the recipient of various editing awards from WHNPA, NPPA, and POYi. She also served as vice president for the Women Photojournalists of Washington in 2009.

Coburn has coached at various multimedia workshops, including Eddie Adams, the NPPA Flying Short Course, the NPPA Immersion workshop, and the Syracuse Fall Workshop. In her spare time, Coburn likes to play the drums, do yoga, swim and search for new adventures.
